Hey hey, this latest one was inspired, in equal measures, by Hyper's Spoiler - soundtrack to a game or film: Cyberpunk - and French house duo Justice. This is based on some fun tutorials/pastiches: https://youtu.be/136ft7B1iOw This song uses Csound - sampled into LinuxSampler - quite extensively, it also features Yoshimi and some hardware. In terms of plugins here's a shoutout to the decimator by Steve Harris. Never had much use for it before, except for honest destruction. :) Feedback is welcome.

Louigi Verona interview: the challenges and the rewards of writing electronic music

by Louigi Verona

Hey everyone! I am mostly known as an ambient producer, but also as the defender of electronic musics without melodies (bwahaha), as well as the popularizer of generative methods of music making. Well, here you go, an interview were I combine all of my best qualities as the ambassador of electronic music with evocative storytelling. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u3FDUI03Ck Louigi Verona https://louigiverona.com/

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.14 - A Mid-Spring'20 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello there! The 'Vee One Suite' of so called 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here released for the second time in the Mid-Spring'20 (quarantined) season. All still delivered in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Changes for this mid-season release are as follows: - Fixed initial DCF1, LFO1 and DCA1 group enablement (GUI). - Fixed initial window title for the LV2 External UI. - LV2 Atom/Port-event host notification support has been implemented (unofficial). - Prevent execution of duplicate or redundant MIDI bank-select/program-change commands. - Early fixing to build for Qt >= 5.15.0. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later. **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.14 (mid-spring'20) is out! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

ANN: First official public release of L2Ork Tweeter is now available for download

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Fellow computer music enthusiasts, Please pardon the x-posting: On behalf of the Virginia Tech Linux Laptop Orchestra, I am pleased to announce the first official public release of the L2Ork Tweeter. *What is L2Ork Tweeter?* L2Ork Tweeter is a free and open source program inspired by the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic that has required a vast majority of the human population to practice prolonged social distancing. It is designed to bring communities together by empowering users around the world to engage in collaborative music making even over slow internet connections. It also facilitates the exploration of audio synthesis and the rich variety of sounds one can generate using the frequency modulation algorithm. It supports up to ten concurrent performers and as many additional guests or audience members as the server bandwidth allows who can observe a performance live over the internet. Each user is given an instrument with a tracker that can be populated by up to 64 loop-enabled keystrokes or notes. This intentional constraint requires users to build complexity through interaction with other users. It is in part inspired by the popular social media platform Twitter that imposes a similar design constraint of allowing only up to 280 characters per Tweet. As a result, and as evidenced by its name, L2Ork Tweeter can be seen as a musical counterpart to Twitter. *Links *To learn more about L2Ork Tweeter, including a quick start guide and a detailed feature overview check out the following video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5x1lMcTUjw <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5x1lMcTUjw> To download L2Ork Tweeter head to: http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/make-your-own-l2ork/tweeter/ Thank you for your consideration. Hope you all are safe and well.

Been a while since I posted a tune here.

by Will Godfrey

This was originally composed using a Yamaha SY22 and Mk1 Roland Soundcanvas with an Acorn Archimedes computer. I transferred the MIDI file to Rosegarden then set up Yoshimi and basically rebuilt it, be with a better range of sounds, and also some new backing and counter melodies. I hope you like the result :) https://soundcloud.com/soft-sounds/rain -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

[music] a773 - click (live glitchy, melodic modular)

by Atte Jensen

Hi all! I just posted a live-in-the-studio recording of a new track "click" on my youtube channel. https://youtu.be/9YgUOOxyTNA All modular, recorded (in one take) and mixed in reaper (native linux). On a sidenote: I'm aware that reaper is not FLOSS, but it's killer. I've been running the native linux (I'm on debian) version for well over a year, it's rock steady. The last couple of months I've been running it on both a pi4 (used for recording, for instance the above, 22 tracks of hi-res flac with no hick-ups) and my laptop, switching between boxes is (almost) seamless, the only "problem" is that for some reason reaper will regenerate peak-files (used for displaying waveforms) when opening on the other platform... Anyways, hope you enjoy the track :-) Cheers -- Atte http://latestyoutube.a773.dk

[Music] An orchestral waltz

by Jeanette C.

Hey ey, La Parisienne: https://youtu.be/jO4MN9GiO5o Almost entirely recorded with the Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra, the free SFZ orchestral library. Only some lead lines and the tuba were doubled with an analogue sound each to slightly emphasize them. The whole piece was then reverberated with jconvolver. Stylistically, it mixes the romantic waltz with 60s dance orchestral passages. There is even a short quotation from something popular. :) Feedback as ever is welcome. Note about the youtube description: I know that something went wrong there, with the first five words being at the end. Right now I am quite frustrated with the web experience of such services. YT is acceptable - mostly -, SC bringing pure terror. :( Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c * Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeanette_c_s * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c I know you're out there and I know that you still care <3 (Britney Spears)
